which bird has the shortest beak/bill?

Answer 1

I'm not sure, but I don't think you can just say the smallest bird does, because hummingbirds have relatively long bills compared to sparrows. Does this question have any geographical constraints? Seedeaters have pretty small bills.

Answer 2

I would say that the shortest beak belongs to the smallest bird - a bee hummingbird, which is only an inch long from tip of beak to end of tail.
However, the bird with the smallest beak compared to it's size is the ostrich.

Answer 3

The problem with sand paper perches is that it is very bad for their feet. Also, if you have a bird who likes to taste and eat everything it sees, sand paper perches aren't such a good idea. Put real natural branches from trees in their cage, it's rough enough to help file their nails, but not as brutal for their little tootsies as sand paper perches. Also they will have fun peeling off the bark. I don't know what kind of birds you have, but you can also get perches that are made from mineral blocks that are soft on the top and rough on the bottom where their nails touch. These perches are safe for them if they decide they want to pick at it and chew it. It is minerals after all. You can usually pick up branches and mineral perches at the pet store. If you have any doubts, talk to your vet. They will be able to help you better then the pet store on this topic. Me, I give my birds a manicure once a month... they aren't huge fans, but at least their nails stay trimmed.

Hmmm im not sure. I had a cockatiel once and his beak was pretty short. Then again maybe the humming bird has a smaller beak...google it?

There are a bunch of things you should know about dog training but we are going to discuss what I feel are some the most important. Keep in mind that these are only some of the things you should know. Go here http://OnlineDogTraining.enle.info/?72Z2

1. Repetition is the number 1 principle of dog training. Dogs just like humans learn by doing things over and over in order to get better.

2. Dog Training can and should be fun for both you and your new pet.

3. Training sessions should always be short but sweet. I never work a dog more than 15 minutes in a session to keep from losing the dog's attention. You should train you dog at least once a day but never more than three formal sessions a day.

4. Your goal should be that each training session is just a little bit better than the last one. You need to always strive to make the training better, slowly. I mention this because quite often I see people who do daily training sessions but the dog never gets better and it is not the dogs fault.

5. Having patients is very important in dog training. Losing your temper does not work with a canine it simply makes things worse.

6. Exercise is very important in the training process to get rid of all the dogs nervous energy.

7. Taking your pet for walks is very important because it develops serotonin which gives your dog a feeling of well being.

8. Always be sure to give your dog a bunch of praise in your training. It is your dog's paycheck for doing a great job.

9. Never hit your dog. I have heard people say I never hit my dog instead I roll up a magazine and swat it. It's the same thing... hitting is hitting.

10. After each training session be sure to do something that your dog will enjoy. Take it for a walk, throw the ball or maybe even rub its belly. Just do something that makes the dog look forward to the next training session.

These are things that I teach my dog training students as well as my dog training clients. I hope these things will give you something to think about when training your dog. Spend some time training your dog daily and you will both reap the benefits.
